force Of the blow in meeting either a
swiftly or moderately fast pitched ball.
First, in regard to how to hold the bat 4
batsman who holds his bat in all awkward
position is placed at great disadvantage
when facing swift pitching, as he has to
draw his bat back before he can strike at
the ball. The correct position is well as
sumed by the champion batsman of the
league in 1884 James O'Rourke. He holds
his bat nicely balanced and poised ready to
hit at high or low pitched ball, or a slow
or swift ball. The correct position at the
bat has great deal to do with successful
hitting and especially with scientific bat
ting.''
When Mr.. Chadwick took up the second
consideration i'll studying the art of bat
ting, !. e.. that OF facing for position" his
talk became so technical that it was neces-
sary to send out for an artist to Illustrate
his remarks with diagrams and pictures.
The result was the series of cuts scattered
through this article. Chadwick saws
that according as the batsman stands in
facing the pitcher so will the forward swing
of his arms in handling the bat meet the
pitched ball When the batsman stands
for hit to left field, the swing of the bat
Will be as represented by the dotted lines
in the corresponding cut. 1t will be seell
that his feet stand on line parallel with
the foul line to third base, and in standing
thus the natural swing of his arms bring
ing the bat forward to meet the ball causes
1T to hit the ball to left field. In facing
for right field hit it will be seen that the
batsman's feet stand on line parallel with
the foul ball line to first base, and this
brings the forward swing Of the bat to meet
the ball so as to send it to the right instead
OF the left. Of course. if he desires to
face for center field. his feet will stand on
line parallel to that OF his batting position.
AS to the effect tile new rules will have
upon the batsman'S position Mr., Chadwick
says that the first change of consequence to
be explained if that which places the first
and third base within the foul ball lines.
just as the home base is placed This has
been done so as to avoid the difficulty the
umpire encountered in judging balls which
either touched the first base OF passed over
1t. For instance, it was this double line Of
the passage of ground balls over the base
which made the difficulty. Under the new
rule, which places the base within the foul
lines, the umpire has no difficulty in iudg-
ing hit balls which pass over the plate. as
all such balls must now be fair balls. mas
much as the base is not entirely within the
fLul ball line.
There is one class of fair and foul hit

Improvement in fielding has been forced on
he majority of the players by the
iact that the great mass OF pa
irons of the game. while knowing
little or nothing about scientific batting
can fully appreciate the beauty of skillfui
exhibitions of fielding; hence an impetus
has been given to fielding excellence, while
batting has not benefited by it. For years
past. and even up to within year or two
ago. the majority of batsmen have taken
their position at the bat in match games
possessed either of bad habits in their man
ner of holding or swinging their bats, or lack
ing in practical knowledge of how TO use
them with the best effect, even If they do
stand in the correct position and hold their
bats properly. As general rule batsnen
take their stand against the pitching, with
no fixed rule of action in handling their
bats they simply working on the plan of
going in for general results. as it were,
trusting to what is called luck. one players
idea being to hit the hrst pitched ball that
comes within reach as hard as he can.
while another's idea is to wait for partc-
rilar kind of ball and then to hit it without
regard as to whether it goes high or to
the ground, out of reach or directly
TO a pitchers hands This kind
of batting is characteristic of the
class of batsmen known as heavy
hitters. inen vino think that home run hit

to touch him when he is really doing his
best TO get out Of the way. No man alive
can be depended upon to judge correctly of
a players intentions. and a trial by jury
might not reach the truth. If then an
umpire is in the slightest dis
favor with players or spectators
on account of previous errors of
Judgment, however honestly rendered.
an unfortunate decision, or for
that matter any decision on this point would
be sure to involve trouble. 1t would be a
particularly embarrassing situation, for in
stance should the batsman get hit with
three men on bases at critical point in the
game. 1t would be to the interest of his
side. of course. to secure the run that would
ensue from his getting his base, out if he
were an honorable player he would en-
deavor not to allow the wildly pitched ball
to hit him. In case he should not succeed
it would devove upon the umpire to decide
whether he had honestly tried to avoid the
ball or not. and on the decision might hang
one of those picturesque scenes of confusion
that. happening now and then, give the
humorists justification for their gbes upon
the dangerous character of the UNI
pires vocation. Another thing which
will make the umpire's work difficult and
perhaps more than counterbalance the re-
lief from limiting the variety of balls that
batsman may demand. is the rule that for
every ball Illegally" pitched the batsman
may take his base. illegal" delivery con-
sists. of course, i'll taking more than one
step i'll sending the ball i'll or in stepping
outside the lines of the pitchers position.
But the batsman is not entitled to base
for balk; base runners as before profit by
that error The batsmen have to surrender
a cherished privilege to the pitcher in the
old rule allowing them to demand a high or
low bali. Mr.. Chadwick thinks that the
Importance of this change lies in the relic
given to the umpire. bnt as pointed out
above this is pretty substantially balanced
by the other determinations with which he
will be inflicted under the new code
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1887-01-30

balls which generally puzzle batsmen, and
that is balls which are known as fair
fouls In Judging this class of balls bats
men must bear in mind the important fact
that no ball which goes up in the air can
become flair foul ball. as the rule max
ing the exception applies only to balls hit
directly to the ground. The double COL
umn view fully illustrates this important
difference. 1t will be seen that line No. l
shows the ball hit high in the air. falling
on foul ground and SO bounding to fair
ground. The rule decides that wherever
such high nit ball falls, whether on foul or
fair ground it becomes fair or foul accord
ing as it falls, without regard to where it
may rebound. But if ball hit directly to
the ground falls on fair ground and then
rebounds onto foul ground before passing
first or third bases it becomes fair or foul
according to where the ball rolls, and not
according to what ground it first touches"
In the double column cut lines Nos. and
8 show these ground bat balls The future
of the base ball revolution whereby the bats
man is entitled 10 try to hit four fair balls
instead of three has been sufficiently com
mented on. 'tTbree strikes and OUT is a
sound Of the past. And one of the new
sounds will be live balls; take your base.
An important new rule is that relative to
the penalty imposed upon the pitcher for
striking a man with the pitched ball. It
will give the umpire no little trouble in
case of occurrences of this kind to deter
mine what is right. For he has to judge
not from the appearance of the ball in a
diagram, as in telling fair from foul balls,
or its height from the ground in
ruling on unfair balls or strikes.
but upon his Interpretation of the
strikers intentions. The rule allows a
batsman to take first base if pitched ball
hits him or touches his dress, provided he
makes all due efforts to satisfy the umpire
that he did not Intentionally allow the ball
to hit him. 1t the umpire thinks that the
batsman might have avoided the ball had
he so desired. the penalty is not to be in
tiicted on the pitcher. 1t is easy to see
that this is likely to be fruitful source of
dispute. A batsman with the best inten-

furore for home-run batting and large
scores prevailed it is recorded that on May
II, 1870. there took place at Cleveland, O..
match game between the Forest City and
Atlantic clubs of that city, in which but
five innings were played, and at the end of
the fifth inning the score, by innings stood
as follows:
Forest City .........52 16 So l 10-l32
Atlantic .............. 0 O O.
Another One-sided contest took place
the same year at Memphis, between the
Bluff City nine Of that place. and the Wis
iting Chicago team, the score of which, at
the end OF the ninth inning, stood 157 to L
These are but samples OF the scores which
marked this smuggling period in the history
of the game. From this extreme in the

field, dead ball period followed some
years later. and in the year when this lat

"a chance hit at best is the ne plus ultra
of batting. This class of batsmen average
a home run hit to about ten or dozen outs
from poorly hit balls There is no skill in
such batting. A skilful handling of the
ash is the result only of strategic work in
batting, wherein the batsman opposes STRAIT
egg in his batting against the skillful head
work play of the opposing pitcher.
In studying how to bat scientifically,
the batsman has to consider three things as
the A of the art. and these are: First.
taking his stand in his position with his bat
properly poised for effective hitting; sec
ondly. on taking his stand SO as to hit the
ball to the left, the center or right, as the
occasion may require--this being techni-
caliy known as facing for position;' and,

sequence of great skill in batting. while
the other phenomenal record was due to
equally remarkable skill in fielding. But
to neither cause was either score to be at
tributed, inasmuch as any novice in batting
can hit an easily pitched elastic ball for
home runs, while there is not the slightest
difficulty in fielding dead balls from the
bat. Since the times of these
extremes in scoring there have been
great changes both in the batting and field
ing departments of the game, and a marked
improvement has been shown in both; but
the advance in the art of batting has not
kept pace with that of fielding. One rea-
son for this is that but little attention has
been paid by the fraternity at large to the
study of the theory Of stragetic batting.
